The Peaks & Dales Rail Link The Peaks & Dales Rail Link A presentation for Matlock Town Council Hope Valley Line By Manchester & East Midlands Rail Action Partnership Robin Greenwood & Stephen Chaytow 16 th September 2019 Peaks & Dales Rail Link 1 Why Re-instate “Peaks and Dales”? The business case comes from the Hope Valley route – it’s FULL! No one is happy… • For passengers, path conflict with slower freight means an unacceptable service level • Quarries can’t react to competition from Mendips and even Nord Pas de Calais • For Transport for the North (TfN), this is the “Achilles Heel” of their passenger strategy • Yorkshire and East Midlands historically diverged over priorities for this limited capacity This led to: • the quarry consortium, over two years ago (freight led + heritage) • MEMRAP – campaigning to add a public service, from Jan 2019 © MEMRAP 2019 2 East Midland Benefits: Greening the A6 Corridor MEMRAP’s Emissions Study Derby University’s Low Carbon Unit reported to us: • 38 round trips of stone trains (in 1 week) via Matlock, will save >40% of current emissions, or 150,000kg of CO2, versus the current longer, hilly Edale / Dore route. • This ongoing saving is equivalent to weekly planting of about 15,000 trees. • Leisure trips transferred to rail save at least 50% of road based CO2 emissions, often more, as does a similar modal shift by commuters Whilst impact of the proposed Cycletrain was not included, PDNPA liked the prospect of fewer cars in the Park with better opportunities for cyclists seeking to arrive by rail. © MEMRAP 2019 3 Benefits: What’s in it for Matlock?

  • Land Off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield
    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.

  • Yorkshire Rail Campaigner Number 48 – March 2020
    Yorkshire Rail Campaigner Number 48 – March 2020 Yorkshire President: Alan Whitehouse: Vice-Presidents: Mike Crowhurst, Alan Williams & Chris Hyomes Trans-Pennine Upgrade Under Threat! By Mark Parry With the proposed trans-Pennine high speed line being supported, we feared the upgrade of the existing line had been quietly forgotten. Transpennine Express new rolling stock at Manchester Piccadilly–Photo by Robert Pritchard The following is a joint press release from our branch and HADRAG: The Halifax & District Rail Action Group; SHRUG: Stalybridge to Huddersfield Rail Users Group; UCVRSTG: Upper Calder Valley Renaissance Sustainable Transport Group. CAMPAIGNERS in West Yorkshire are extremely concerned about lack of progress by the Government and Network Rail on infrastructure proposals that should deliver improvements for travellers in the next few years, including the TransPennine Route Upgrade (TRU). Three rail user groups and the Yorkshire Branch of Railfuture have written to Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of Network Rail, who was recently been quoted as casting doubt on TRU. In a magazine interview (RAIL 897, 29 Jan’2020) Haines had said the scope of TRU could depend on the high-speed rail proposal “Northern Powerhouse Rail” (NPR). The campaigners say NPR is decades away and will not benefit stations on regional routes that desperately need investment now. Continued overleaf… Railfuture, Yorkshire & North West Joint Branch Meeting This meeting has been postponed because of concerns about the Coronavirus. We will contact members later about alterative arrangements. 1 | Railfuture: Yorkshire Rail Campaigner 4 8 – M a r c h 2020 The campaigners have also written to Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps MP, and to the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, calling for urgent, overdue projects to go ahead without further delay.

  • £137 Million Investment to Upgrade the Hope Valley Line
    £137 million investment to upgrade the Hope Valley line March 11, 2021 HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson has announced government funding to upgrade the Hope Valley train line – a train line between Manchester and Sheffield. He made the announcement on Thursday in the House of Commons. He said: “The government is committed to levelling up rail infrastructure across the north, and in that spirit I am delighted to confirm that we have awarded £137 million to Network Rail to complete detailed designs and deliver the Hope Valley capacity scheme. “This scheme will transform journeys between the Northern Powerhouse cities of Manchester and Sheffield by removing bottlenecks on the Hope Valley line. “I pay tribute to the member for High Peak, who has campaigned relentlessly for this scheme and has helped get it over the line.” In response High Peak MP Robert Largan Tweeted: “£137 million Hope Valley line upgrade approved. We’ve done it. I’m absolutely delighted the Government have just approved the upgrade to the Manchester-Sheffield line, which serves New Mills, Chinley, Edale, Hope & Bamford. This is a huge win for High Peak and the North.” To help meet future demand, the Hope Valley capacity scheme is designed to removed bottlenecks on the line by creating places for fast passenger services to overtake slower moving freight trains, allowing more trains to run and increasing the reliability of services. Network Rail is now finalising detailed designs that will improve sections of the railway between Bamford station and Jaggers Lane Bridge in Hathersage, and around Dore & Totley station where a second platform will also be added.
